Reliable Down to the Minute

In metropolitan areas people are continually on the go. And in a hurry. Appointments, private or business, set the pace.

Moving faster over the Entire Route

Everyone is familiar with them. And everyone has also used them at some time. The metros in the world's major cities. They are fast, reliable and economical. Even when they are crowded with passengers. We do whatever is possible to make them one of the most attractive means of transportation. Our components and systems offer convincing performance in terms of reliability and quiet operation. Low wheel and rail wear saves costs and nerves. Over the entire route.

Voith Products for Metros

Facilitate Travel in Metropolitan Areas

Innercity mobility depends on the amount of space available. And space is in short supply in megacities such as Mumbai or São Paulo. Modern monorail systems can help overcome such obstacles. They travel along their own right-of-way over streets and buildings, supported on pylons. We supply components and systems to make this possible. And as safe as possible. Millions of people reach their destinations safely and reliably in this way - even if it's a tight squeeze.

High-Tech at Its Best

High-speed trains represent the pinnacle of technology. In many countries, they have become the most highly promoted concept for the future. Speeds of up to 400 km/h are already being achieved today. This makes them a practical alternative to airplanes. We supply important components in the areas of couplings, safety and drives. And we advance development. To ensure that what is possible becomes reality.

At Home over Long Distances

Railcars connect cities quickly and safely. They reach high speeds and last for millions of kilometers. We develop and supply components and systems that ensure the safety, reliability and durability of these vehicles. So that passengers arrive at their destination in the city safely. And then return home again safely as well.

Examples of Maximum Reliability

Locomotives must be reliable, above all. At up to 60,000 hours of operation without a general overhaul, the requirements for vehicles and components are especially demanding. Our proven components ensure reliability. Functionality and high availability are guaranteed. So that nothing will stand in the way of maximum performance.

A solution for every task

The rail industry has many different utility and special vehicles. For instance, ballast cleaners, tampers and measuring vehicles. Or self-propelled railway cranes and track vehicles. In fact, operation of the entire rail system depends on use of these vehicles. As a specialist with extensive know-how, we offer components and systems that provide reliability power and economy. In order to ensure that the rail system continues to operate no matter what the circumstances.
